It looks like podcast host Joe Budden has once again landed himself in hot water for inflammatory comments he has made. This time, he decided to open his mouth about Megan Thee Stallion (again)on The Joe Budden Podcast that aired on Sunday (December 18). In a desperate attempt for attention, he made disparaging remarks about the Houston rapper.

โI donโt like the girl,โ Budden said. โPersonally, Iโve seen this woman do horrible things to some really great people that I have a long-standing relationship with here in this industry. So Iโm biased. You canโt just treat my friends, and people I f*ck with and people Iโve seen in this game for 15 years a certain way.โ
He continued: โI want to be clear, I donโt know her as a person; she could be amazing. But thereโs a lot to deal with when you sign and a lot happens fast.โ Megan accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in July 2020 and the trial against Lanez is currently underway. With the timing of the legal proceedings, many people publicly scoffed at Buddenโs remarks.
Vivica A. Fox took to Fox Soulโs Cocktails with Queens on Tuesday (December 20) to address him directly as she expressed her disgust:
โJoe Budden if you donโt button it up and sit yo bitch ass down hatinโ on that girl! Yโall made cuz the girls right now is ruling rap,โ Fox commented. โItโs just driving yโall crazy that the sistas are just rulinโ and taking numbers and can tell yโall about yโallโs selves [and] look sexy with it. Itโs a new day.โ
Budden showed remorse shortly after. โIโm apologizing for the careless manner in which I joked about her mental health,โ he stated. โThat didnโt sit right with my soul and my spirit...but thatโs not funny. Because whether you believe her or donโt believe her, can you afford to be wrong? And the answer is no.โ
He didnโt stop there. โI would not feel right if that girl went home and she did something to herself. Then I would just be a part of the pile-on. And there is seemingly a Meg hate train going on across [social media].โ
However, Budden is known for making inappropriate remarks at the expense of others for views and engagement. Hopefully, this is the last time he mentions Megan Thee Stallion at allโbut we doubt it given his history.
